https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdSKR8EHnXY Key - A Standard tuning NOTE: Dolly Parton uses the Joni Mitchell tuning, thus her chord shapes look different from standard. Use standard chords unless specified: A/B - x22220 [Intro] / / [Verse 1] Popcorn, soda, box of Raisinets Velvet-cushioned seats and soft armrests Best seat in my favorite movie house Start my dreaming as the lights go out Up on the silver screen, I picture me Living out my passions, hopes, and fantasies. [Chorus 1] I want to be the girl in the movies The one with the glint in her eyes The girl that seldom loses Beautiful, with grace and style Acting out her story Standing in her glory Happy ever after I want to be the girl in the movies. [Verse 2] Wish I had a nickel for each dime I've spent Watching others live their lives with confidence Here's a preview of some things to come It's not too late for me to be someone I can't keep living in their make-believe Coming attractions will be starring me. [Chorus] I want to be the girl in the movies The one with the stars in her eyes (In her eyes) She gets the roles she chooses She can laugh or she can cry Acting in her story Standing in her glory Always happy endings I want to be the girl in the movies. [Bridge] It's time I show the world just what I'm about I'm steppin' up and I'm steppin' out I'm feelin' bold and I'm feelin' proud I want to be that girl [Chorus] I want to be the girl in the movies Hmm hmm I want to be the girl in the movies Hmm hmm hmm [Outro] Gonna stand up and I'm gonna matter 'Cause I've had enough of my dreams being shattered And I've had enough of my tears being splattered I've already been that girl. Oh, I want to be (I want to be) I want to be (I want to be) I want to be the girl in the movies I want to be (I want to be) Hey look at me (Hey look at me) I want to be the girl in the movies I want to shine (I want to shine) I want to shine (I'm gonna shine) It's my time and I want to shine I want to be happy, I want to be free Just like the girl in the movies.
